Staging and live environment

The staging environment is the editing mode of the selector. This is not visible to your customers. The live environment, on the other hand, is visible to your customers.

Changes to the selector are not made directly in the live environment, but in staging.

You can therefore prepare, test and save all changes in the workbench before finally transferring them to the live system.

The surroundings can be recognized on the Live View toggle. If the toggle is deactivated, you are in the staging environment and can edit and save the selector in the Workbench. Your end users will not see these changes.

However, if the toggle is activated, you are in the live environment and cannot edit and save the selector directly.

💡Save changes to the selector regularly.

The video shows the differences between the staging and live versions and demonstrates the Publish and Reset features.

1. Deactivate the Live view toggle.

2. Click on Settings > Reset.

💡The process cannot be undone.
